My research examines how global economic integration reshapes domestic labor markets, political identities, and firm behavior. I focus on how exposure to globalization generates economic insecurity and how that insecurity translates into political preferences and policy responses.
Substantively, my work advances three research agendas. First, I analyze how gender and structural inequalities condition attitudes toward economic policy and globalization, including trade, immigration, automation, and foreign aid. Second, I study how firms adopt and diffuse international environmental and labor norms. Third, I examine how firms’ positions and vulnerabilities within global supply chains shape their political behavior and policy engagement. Methodologically, I draw on causal inference, survey experiments, and firm-level data.
I earned my B.A. and M.A. in Political Science from Seoul National University, South Korea. My work has been supported by the Fulbright Fellowship, the , and other grants including the APSA Centennial Center Research Grant and the APSA Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (NSF).
